Can I write something clever, being the first to comment on this?
Nah.
All I can think of is: What the hell was a ocean sunset picture doing in a public parking lot in North Dakota? Wishful thinking? (or wistful thinking...?)
You know, you just don't get sunrises like this any where other than North Dakota.
oh wait...a p.s.
The Truman Show, possibly?
I don't see no stinkin' sailboat.
I'm not seeing the steenking boat either. But I do see the pier, which places the photo somewhere on the west coast of North Dakota.
No sailboat, but someone (or something) is on the shore.
Sure are a lot of people awake still...
Good eye, Sammy! What is it on the shore?
Gloria: If the '58 refers to 1958, then it is undoubtedly Pat Boone on the shore, writing love letters in the sand.
@fooch; I always feel like I should say something clever/interesting when I'm the first to comment. but yet always fail to.
and I too "don't see no stinkn' sailboat". but I do see what I assume is a person standing on the shore.
I'd like to see the "Enlargement" of this photo, because I wanna see the sail boat dagnabit!
Maybe the thing on the shore line IS a sailboat, but a childs toy one...
Somewhere
beyond the sea
somewhere waiting for me
my lover stands
on golden sands
and watches the ships
that go sailing
ahhhh
**I am Sailinggg...'cross stormy waters...to be near you...to be freeee...**
One of my fave songs from Rod Stewart.
Anyhoo, I did see a pier on the left side of the pic, and on the rght side there is a white, clouded mass. (No pun intended!) Unless it's a haunted Sailboat!
I wasn't even born when this pic was snapped!
Hey everyone... at least it's not a suicide note
I've been to the Oregon and Washington Pacific beaches dozens of times and the New Jersey Atlantic beach once. I think this photo is a lake.
The orange sky is gorgeous in this photo. I may even print if off and put it on my fridge! :o)
I now have "boys of summer" playing in my head
maybe it's one of Minnesota's 10000 lakes. (but I think it's ocean, not lake. the wave breaking on the shore does not say "lake" to me.)
I spent Oct thru Jan ('03 to '04) in North Dakota. MAN it gets freakin' COLD there.
In the enlargement, they drew a sailboat on the horizon with a paint marker.
4 all of u can't c the schooner, what u need is a fatty boom batty blunt, and I guarantee u'll b seeing a sailboat, an ocean, and mayB even some of those big-titted mermaids doing some of that lesbian shit.
...that kid is back on the escalator again!
This is where one hopes to escape to when stuck in North Dakota in January. One of the coldest most miserable winters of my life was spent in North Dakota working outside on a seismic crew! The things I'd do for a buck when I was younger!
Melanie, could be the Gulf Coast, which looks unlike Coastal OR, WA, CA.. (and especially unlike NJ.)
Is there a person on the beach?
I think it's a person. And also a pier. Up on poles. Up on poles like you'd have for high tides, with high surfs. I really don't think this is a lake.
Post-card material in this photo which is obviously from someone's vacation, very far from either of the Dakotas.
I don't really like it (too orange for me) but I know several people who would drool over it.
Man. That is breathtaking!
I wish I could enlarge it to see the sailboat.
For some reason, I feel like I, too, should post some song lyrics about boats/seas/etc.
Saiiiiiiling
takes me awayyyyyyyy
to where I've always
heard it could beeeeee
Just a dream and a wind to carry me
and soon I will be
freeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
In the year of thirty-nine
Assembled here the volunteers
In the days when lands were few
Here the ship sailed out into the blue and sunny morn
The sweetest sight ever seen
And the night followed day
And the story tellers say
That the score brave souls inside
For many a lonely day
Sailed across the milky seas
Ne'er looked back never feared never cried
Don't you hear my call
Though you're many years away
Dont you hear me calling you
Write your letters in the sand
For the day I'll take your hand
In the land that our grandchildren knew
In the year of thirty-nine
Came a ship in from the blue
Volunteers came home that day
And they bring good news
Of a world so newly born
Though their hearts so heavily weigh'd
For the Earth is old and grey
Little darlin' went away
But my love this cannot be
Oh so many years have gone
Though I'm older but a year
Your mother's eyes from your eyes cry to me
Don't you hear my call
Though you're many years away
Don't you hear me calling you
Write your letters in the sand
For the day I'll take your hand
In the land that our grandchildren knew
Don't you hear my call
Though you're many years away
Don't you hear me calling you
All your letters in the sand
Cannot heal me like your hand
For my life still ahead pity me

I grew up in Rhode Island and I now live on the shore of Lake Erie. It could be either lake or ocean. When the lake is big enough, you can get surf.
I think it's a dog on the shore. I'm also almost certain it's the ocean because of the way the sun is setting on the horizon. But either way, it's a cool find.
Z-z-z-z-z-z-z-z-z-z-z-z-z-z-z-z-z!
Michelle,
You've obviously never looked at the Great lakes - They're Big - You can't see the other shore. I think you only need 7 miles (or so) of open water to see the sun set (or rise) over the water.
The distance to the horizon depends on yer altitude. At six feet above sea level, you can see about three miles. At one hundred feet, you can see about twelve.
(the spam guards just stopped me at the door. they want to know the opposite of 'bad'. Isn't is 'baaaaad'?)
Lovely lake Michigan has some small waves, and a pier similar to those found at the jersey beach. So to me, it could possibly be a lake. Though I saw nothing like that driving through ND. Admittedly, almost everything was orange, though. hmmm.
Maybe it's not a body of water at all, but rather a soggy, slightly flooded wheat field from a rainy spring. And the "sailboat" our photographer thinks he sees is just a barn roof.
But I could be wrong.
I dont see no stinkin sailboat! Where is it?!?!?!
